Cleaning Cellars Early.

1t is impracticable in our climate to be-
gin house-cleaning before the first OF May,
and it may be well into that month before
the winter stoves can be safely removed
from living rooms. But the cellar must
receive attention much earlier Windows
should be opened to admit light and air
SO soon as danger of frost is passed. The
temperature outside can 60 many degrees
below freezing without endangering any
thing there. Some draught OF air from
the cellar out of doors IS necessary to re-
move foul odors. Then remove every
vestige of refuse and decaying vegetables
or fruit that has accumulated during the
winter There should be no potatoes lett
in the cellar either for eating or seed, Its
warmth and darkness will encourage
sprouting and thus exhaust the power to
nourish the young plant Finally. when
the cellar is clean, whitewash its walls.
and it is better to have it done early be-
fore the busy season of blowing and seed
ing on the farm is begun.-Philadelphsd

A Successful Farmer.

1t is the lesson of advanced agriculture
that success turns upon knowing what you
do and how to do it. The successful
farmer stands in this position in relation
to the farm, his crops, his tools. his labor.
his income and his expenses.
He is smart enough to know that agri-
cultural books and papers, farmers clubs
and gatherings, give him the knowledge
he must have to work to advantage.
He works no more land than he can fer
tlize well and cultivate properly.
He does nothing simply because others
have done it before him; but he has a
good reason for whatever plan he would
carry out.
He never uses inferior seed because
they are cheaper, but secures the best and
takes plenty of time to get them. that
they may be on hand when wanted.
He plans to work beforehand, and to
get good help gives two or three dollars
a month more than common hands de-
mand, and so saves many a dollar during
the year in extra help, in waste. in delay,
and in ruined implements.
He keeps no useless and Improbable
stock, but turns off such and replaces them
with the best breeds.
He watches what market demands, and
and raises a variety to meet such demands
thus he is sure of some profita BILE crop
and can depend upon an income.
He reads and studies, and is able to use
machinery whenever it can be profitab,y
used, thus dispensing with much OF the
heavy toll and drudgery.
His eyes will see the possibilities OF a
swampy field, and bv drainage he will
make it the most productive part of the
farm.
He devotes select portions to variety
of permanent crops-the apple. the peach,
the ounce, the currant, the gooseberry,
the small fruits generally. the rhubarb.
the asparagus He depends upon no one
especially.
Perhaps he has also his carp pond. his
bees and his poultry. Permanent crops
essen his labor. and the variety wards off
serious losses.
He realizes from the beginning that
crops must be fed. and does not ex-
pect to keep land productive unless he
gives to it as well as takes from it.
He works by system. but it is a
system that is elastic, bending to emer-
gencies, taking the advantage promptly
of favorable circumstances, governed by
i ski lful, industrious. master mind
He is successful, as a matter of course
Everything about him shows it. His neat
buildings, his clean yards. his substantial
horses, his sleek cattle, his contented and
happy family.
We call no man successful if he fails to
make everything around him happy. from
the chickens which flock to his call to the
dear ones who gather around the table in
the evening in loving contentment and
peaceful joy.-NctU York Star

Animal Heat.

Almost every dairvman mas whole
some dread of animal heat in milk. We
have always held that animal heat, if it
were only heat. is no different from any
other heat. As milk is ordinarily drawn,
it is affected by much more than heat
alone, and in order to be regarded as
pure, needs cooling and arating as soon
as it is drawn. Some milk dealers prac.
tice successfully milking into pals closed
by strainer cloths, or having a straining
funnel attachment to milk into, so that not
only material filth is excluded, but also

Agricultural pursuits, it has been well
said. are experimental, and differ from all
other branches of industry. The carpenter.
for example. when he learns how to cut
b~ace ofthree feet run, orto make amortise
or tenon, has never failing rule to work
bv. but the farmer has to contend with the
different kinds OF soil. difference in the
seasons and the various changes in the
weather that are not known by him. and
they are not under his control. He is
learning sonnet hing new every year, and
vet. with his lifetime of educated expert
ence, he has not learned any infallible
rule. and there is scarcely study puf-
sued in agricultural science but what
would be of value to him; and. while the
knowledge OF science is of value, the
most important thing is to have well-dl-
rected plans. a farmer without plans
well arranged is like a ship at sea without
rudder-he can never tell where he will
| land. man without we'll directed plans
changes from one thing to another; he
never makes success in anything he
undertakes, and such men may be found
| in almost every community.
While but few farmers ever make vast
fortune farming. with the Utmost skiiful
and industrious habits. and majority
seldom make more money than to
keep pace With the times, especially if
hey have large family to support,
and many farmers and their
families live life of harder labor
and greater anxiety than those in other
callings, to counter balance this, the farmer
has many advantages in his calling that
other callngs have not. First, from the
nature of farming, his residence is in the
country, where he has the pure air to
! breathe, that invigorates both BODY and
mind and surrounded by woodlands, green
pastures, cultivated fields and many other
rural sceneries. All these he can enjoy
| in bis occupation, and with his cottage
and its beautiful surroundings, his horses,
cattle and other domestic animals, all OF
which are under his sub]ection, all adding
to his degree of real pleasure and com
fort, he can live more independent lite
than any other ofthe branches of industry.
While the greater number CT the agricul
turists belong to the laboring class, and
are ploughmen, herdsmen, and laborers
of all work. the farmers products are
always in demand, and he is sure of a
market at some price, though it may rot
be at a paying price This is not the case
always with the products of the manutac-
turer or the merchant and mechanic.
